Question

a jar contains 10 yellow marbles, 16 red marbles, and 8 green marbles. what is the probability of selecting a green marble or a yellow marble? the probability is

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of marbles

Total marbles = \(10 + 16+8=34\)

Step2: Calculate number of favorable marbles (green + yellow)

Favorable marbles = \(8 + 10 = 18\)

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Favorable}}{\text{Total}}=\frac{18}{34}=\frac{9}{17}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{9}{17}\)
